Ios Build failure - Need your help!

Build issue
1

Hi Members,

I am having a iOS build issue with the below message:
error: No signing certificate “iOS Distribution” found: No “iOS Distribution” signing certificate matching team ID “XXXXX” with a private key was found. (in target ‘RNVApp’ from project 'RNVApp

On the forum, I have found that there are several users with the same issue. There are a few ‘In progress’ items as well on the tracker with the same issue.

My difficulty is not being able to get a conclusive opinion on the status on ioS builds.
Few opinions (as found on the forum) are as below:

  1. I have not experienced this issue
  2. I experienced this issue, but on re-uploading p12/ mobile.provision/ image assets again (a few times), I was able to get the build working.
  3. Don’t bother reuploading or recreating files, just keep trying a few days later, it started working. (basically, it depends on particular runtime or any other such variable or bug status).
  4. AG has found the bug, it is working on it and it will be released soon - as seen in a few WIP tracker items (There is no ETA though)

I will highly appreciate a response from anyone actively doing iOS builds.
Based on the above replies, I will then either keep trying new builds over next few days or just wait for a few days to attempt to get my IOS app out.

Or maybe, try a net new suggestion that might come up.
Thank you in advance!

Best,
Acky

Have you verified the certificates you are using from the apple developer account, and that they are set up correctly?

Are you able to attempt to reupload and rebuild or try building with a different runtime verison?

Thank you for your reply.

I did try to reupload certificates, both the p12 and mobile provision.

Created new certificates as well.
They are password protected.

I am just not sure what next to do.

I have tried to build on 4.7.36 and 4.6.36.
They are the only 2 runtimes visible to me.

Is there a way for me to go to lower runtimes?

Best,
Acky

What i am not sure is whether it is an AppGyver problem that is impacting others as well?

There are quite a few posts (including In Progress tracker items on the same issue). They are old though. So, does that mean all those 10-15 users with the same issue just gave up or did they find a solution. If they did, i will keep trying till i find the solution to this.

But, if it is am AG problem that is WIP, i will just have to pause till there is a resolution to the bug. And live with just the Android app in the interim.

That i am not able to determine.
If you could suggest next steps that i can take.

I am have been holding up my marketing efforts as my app’s target group comprise affluent users (meaning a good amount of iPhone users).

Any suggestions welcome :pray:

Hi Acky,

I’ve been having the exact same issue. I have re-downloaded my iOS distribution certificate and App Store provisioning profile from the Apple Developer page. I re-uploaded them to the Build Service and I have tried both run time versions available to me. I get the same error as you:

error: No signing certificate “iOS Distribution” found: No “iOS Distribution” signing certificate matching team ID “XXXX” with a private key was found. (in target ‘RNVApp’ from project ‘RNVApp’)

All other pages I can find on this issue are not very helpful. I am interested to see if you get a response!

Thank you @James_Bridgman for responding.

May I ask what options are you evaluating at the moment?
Can you share any pointers on how you are proceeding?

Best,
Acky

Hi @Achilles_Pereira

I just tried to build again but got the same error. I revoked and re-created by iOS distribution certification and provisioning profile. I went through the AppGyver build service as normal, selecting the new certificate and Provisioning Profile, and selected the 4.6 runtime. I did all of this from a mac in the cloud (I’m working off a PC). But again:

FAILED with ERROR:
error: No signing certificate “iOS Distribution” found: No “iOS Distribution” signing certificate matching team ID “XXXX” with a private key was found. (in target ‘RNVApp’ from project ‘RNVApp’)

I don’t know what “RNVApp” is, or how I get my iOS Distirbution signing certificate to match my team ID, or what my team ID is.

Any help would be awesome.

UPDATE:

This guide solved part of the issue. It seems to make the signing certificate work, but now I get this error:

error: Provisioning profile “Bridgman Sentencing Calculator provisioning profil” doesn’t include signing certificate “iPhone Distribution: my name (XXXX)”. (in target ‘RNVApp’ from project ‘RNVApp’)
